No, just what you see here.

Of course he did. He was one of the top selling artists of the year. That should have counted for something and it did not, apparently, to the Grammy committee. He wasn't the only artist they screwed over...don't get me started. But the Weeknd is in good company. Rock acts and Canadian musicians have been snubbed and screwed by the Grammys for years. We all complain about the ISU here but they're amateurs to compared to some awards granting committees. Speaking of pointless and cliquey awards, I see Max Parrot got the Laureus this year.

I'd love to think that, but it's probably more like, eventually the whole world passes through Toronto....

I just wanna stay home and watch Yuzu videos today...but it's a workday for me....

right, my bad. I don't approve of it in other sports either well I don't think the answer is to let the little kids compete alongside grown adults either. There's a world of difference in maturity between 15 and 19...or even 18.

More to the point, they should be raising the age to help protect kids from possible exploitation and abuse. It makes utterly no sense to have 15-year-olds competing with grown adults when the social milieu around the sport lends itself so easily to predation. Let the 15-19 age group be in one set of competitions and the adults in another, never crossing paths. But of course the ISU would never propose an age raise for that reason - that would mean admitting there's a problem. And yes, I realize that coaches and others are also a problem, but separating the younger ones out is at least a start. This proposal from ISU makes it sound like they're trying to come up with a plan to recreate the Yuzu effect again and again. Good luck with that.

But he made up for it by bringing Hana back to the ice...

Re Sister Mary Joseph on Twitter: Yuzu is surely the most glorious of all God's creatures, so it's entirely appropriate for a nun to admire...but it seems a bit unfair to tempt someone like that with Yuzu's hotter moments. Send her Notte or Ballade or Tenchi instead.

I can't speak to Conrad's intentions or experience, but for most Canadian kids, their experience with instant noodles starts with Mr. Noodles Cup Noodles, which you add the soup base and hot water to, then you eat the whole thing like a soup - you don't drain the water away. But ramyeon can be like that, or it can be the kind where you first pour hot water on the noodles, let them soften, then drain the water from the cup and add sauces or flavoring, thus eating the noodles as noodles and not as soup. If you've only had the first kind, you might not clue in when you're making the second type at first.

Yuzu dances his entire chronology of program openings, ably backed by White Wall-kun

He has definitely upped the ante on that. He was always masterful and confident but it's even better now.

Since they started selling instant Korean ramyeon at my local T&T Supermarket, I understand Jun's distress so much better now. Half the time, what you initially think is soup turns out to be noodles that are meant to be cooked, drained, and eaten with a sauce.

Is Kazuki also a scientist? I see what you did there.

Indeed!

It's only the start of May and I'm already out of popcorn...

That looks more like Hanyu-sensei the PE teacher/soccer coach.

Good name for it! It looks exactly like that hiragana.

Not to mention his ballet lines! Even if he says he's rusty, he's got lovely turn-out and extension

At this point, I'm in the 'anyone but an Eteri girl' camp, so...

Actually, he should be done by tomorrow, based on what he says here

Either that or there'll be too much competition between them and the whole thing will fall apart like a house of cards. This is RusFed we're talking about, anything can happen. Or, in another ironic twist, Tuktik and Kolyada win it all, forever giving Mishin bragging rights.

F**k. I hate it here. Hoping and praying for a Japanese sweep at Beijing because karma's a witch and Eteri is way overdue...

Has everyone seen Yonkaiten Pixel's edit of Yuzu's SOI opening? Am I late to the party?

wow. I can't believe that it took them a whole year to agree to refunds.

And who are clearly intelligent people of excellent and discriminating taste
